zackster They’ve openly said this in interviews.
Ah. Interesting. I didn’t know that.
A lot of those Detroit guys weren’t very good DJs even by the standards of the time. Larkin, Carl Craig, Pullen. Add them to the list. Knocked out great tunes, mind, but compared to some of the other US DJs on the circuit around then (Farina, Doc Martin, Terry Mullan, DJ Dan, Trisco, Hawtin - even if they played different dance music they were still on two decks), their technical skills left a lot to be desired, IMO.
